Overview

This book explores the vital role of proteins in human health through 40 in-depth chapters, organized into four comprehensive sections, which include ""Introductory Concepts,"" ""Foods of Animal Origin,"" ""Foods of Plant Origin,"" and ""Resources."" The book delves into the biochemical processes behind protein metabolism and its influence on a wide range of health conditions. Aimed at educating readers on the diverse sources and types of protein, it provides valuable insights into how both plant and animal proteins contribute to disease prevention and overall wellness. Features: Chapters feature subsections titled ""Effects of Other Proteins"" to aid in comparative interpretation. Each chapter contains a Mini Dictionary of Terms and Summary Points to facilitate clear understanding. Highly illustrated with figures and multiple tables in each chapter. Chapter contributors represent global coverage. Plant and Animal Proteins in Health and Disease Prevention is written for nutritionists, food scientists, healthcare professionals, research scientists and practitioners, and policy makers. It is also practically designed for professors, students, and libraries.

Victor R. Preedy BSc, PhD, DSc, FRSB, FRSPH, FRCPath, FRSC is Honorary Professor in the Department of Clinical Biochemistry at King’s College Hospital, Emeritus Professor in Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine at King’s College London and Visiting Professor at the University of Suffolk. Professor Preedy graduated with an Honours Degree in Biology and Physiology with Pharmacology. He gained his University of London PhD on the biochemical measurements in protein metabolism and also gained a second doctoral degree, for his outstanding contribution to protein metabolism in health and disease. Professor Preedy was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2022. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology, The Royal College of Pathologists, The Royal Society for Public Health and The Royal Society of Chemistry. He was the founding Director of the Genomics Centre at King’s College London and held the post from 2006 to 2020. In his career Professor Preedy has carried out research at the Cardiothoracic Institute, National Heart Hospital (part of Imperial College London), The School of Pharmacy (now part of University College London) and the MRC Centre at Northwick Park Hospital. He has collaborated with research groups in Finland, Japan, Australia, USA, and Germany. He is a leading expert on the science of health. To his credit, Professor Preedy has published over 750 articles, which includes peer-reviewed manuscripts based on original research, abstracts and symposium presentations, reviews and numerous books and volumes.
